Hi Tao,

commit: 97bb0f99e9d2b047c7a6010771c41d5f0d2ed80c [40/60] ext4: add journalled write support for inline data

+ fs/ext4/inode.c:1953 __ext4_journalled_writepage() error: potential NULL dereference 'page_bufs'.

git remote update ext4

If we have inline data but inode_bh is NULL then it will lead to a
NULL dereference.  Btw, smatch will still complain about this even
after we fix the code.
